Bugs
- Fixed a bug that could allow Jedi to Resist the Ability Block on Vader's basic ability.
- Fixed a bug that caused several characters that apply negative status effects when they Counter to expire early. Characters affected include Aayla Secura, Count Dooku, Fives, Hoth Rebel Soldier, Kylo Ren, and MagnaGuard. (Note: other characters that do not normally have Counter Attack Chance may also be affected, and will be fixed in a more comprehensive future update.)
- Fixed a bug that could cause Vader's basic ability to deal damage twice.
- Grand Master Yoda: "Masterstroke" will no longer grant Evasion Up when hitting a Poggle the Lesser with "Metal Hive."
- Fixed a bug that caused many abilities that trigger on enemies with negative status effects to not consider Topple a negative status effect. Characters affected include Dengar, IG-88, Jawa, Poe, Resistance Trooper, Sun Fac, and Tusken Shaman.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Turn Meter reduction effect Qui-Gon's Basic ability to ignore Evasion.
- Corrected an issue where some of the stats gained through Mods were not properly increasing a Character's displayed Power value.
- Fixed a bug with Echo's Follow-Up ability that allowed allies that weren't currently taking their turn to grant Echo Assists.
- Wedge Antilles: "Red Leader" now functions correctly.
- IG-88, Gamorrean Guard and Stormtrooper Han now have the “Scoundrel” tag.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Damage Over Time effects inflicted by IG-88's Leader Ability to be Unresistable.
- Count Dooku, Asajj Ventriss, B2 Super Battle Droid, Nute Gunray, Geonosian Soldier, Geonosian Spy, Poggle the Lesser, General Grievous, IG-100 MagnaGuard and Sun Fac now have the “Separatist” Tag. No changes for these characters are being introduced at this time. In the future, these characters may be updated to utilize this affiliation or to adjust their existing kits to provide synergy.

Cad Bane was fixed one or two updates ago.
But I cannot express in words how disappointed I am that the community receives nothing but silence regarding Galactic War. 103,000 views and 3,300 comments later, one would think that stopping the bleeding and sheer anger would have been a priority. You're losing paying customers, would-be paying customers, diehard fans and casual players alike. This hasn't affected just one aspect of the gaming community, it has affected everyone. Many guilds are bleeding out or experiencing players that were daily that have now turned to occasional. And that is affecting our ability to build raid coins and tackle raids, which further compounds the issues we're facing with the credit crunch, gear shortages, gear bottlenecks, etc.
And what is up with drop rates? I am experiencing between 5-10% drop rates for low level purple shards. This week I had a span where I went 4 for 64. All too often I'll do 15 and get just 1 shard. Why does this game keep taking a bad situation and decide to make it worse?
Well his evasion is supposed to be better than both Count Dooku and Old Ben but it doesn't work that way...
Worked great for me when I used him in the credit heist
That's the best thing in this update. Which in and of itself is a wonderful development for those of us scrambling to create a Scoundrel team for the Credit Heist event. But also pretty sad considering some big items that should be addressed and are instead met with silence and "WAI".
Credit Heist is a lot different than GW or Arena though...
Seriously, I'm asking.
How hard?
There has to be SOME reason he completely failed to mention it here, right?
Omega events, pre-announced, good.
Bug fixes
-Didn't Fix Teebo #1 complained about bug
-Didn't fix GW
-Didn't address drop rates
-Didn't address Cantina Energy for mods too
Do you even listen to us?
DID ADDRESS:
Buy more packs
Buy more packs of this
Buy more packs of that
Please buy more data packs
Fat chance of that happening. I am not spending until you make this game enjoyable again. 2 hr GW is NOT enjoyable or fun, if I can even complete it.
Please make the game I spent money on ENJOYABLE to play.
-Make mods possible to obtain and upgrade
-Level GW playing Field and stop giving highest arena ranks easier victories.
Yes because it is false advertising..
See my post 6 below this one.
yes
For those overlooking it, this fix may help a bit with GW. Can only hope...
This is our most desperate hour
Oh wait, it's working as intended...
...so you can keep your packs for whales too.
